NAME Term::ANSIColor::Conditional - Colorize text only if color is enabled VERSION This document describes version 0.009 of Term::ANSIColor::Conditional (from Perl distribution Term-ANSIColor-Conditional), released on 2021-06-01. SYNOPSIS Use as you would Term::ANSIColor. DESCRIPTION This module is a wrapper for Term::ANSIColor. If color is enabled then everything is the same as Term::ANSIColor. If color is disabled, then "color()" will emit empty string and "colored()" will not colorize input text. How to determine "color is enabled": * If package variable $Term::ANSIColor::Conditional::COLOR is defined, use that. * Otherwise, check if "NO_COLOR" environment variable exists. If yes, color is disabled. * Otherwise, check if "COLOR" environment variable is defined and use that. * Otherwise, check if (-t STDOUT) is true (interactive terminal). If yes, color is enabled. * Otherwise, color is disabled. Note that Term::ANSIColor already supports conditional color via the "ANSI_COLORS_DISABLED" and "NO_COLOR" environment variables, but it does not check for interactive terminal or the "COLOR" environment variable. VARIABLES $COLOR => bool NO_COLOR For more information, see . COLOR ENVIRONMENT HOMEPAGE Please visit the project's homepage at . SOURCE Source repository is at .
